ANIMAL IOKE.

Application filed September 21,.'1922. Serial 589,554.

To (ZZZ whom'z't may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE A; BAILEIY, a

citizen of the United States, residing at Manning, in the county of Carroll and Sgtate of Iowa, ha-ve invented certain new and useful Improvements in Animal 'Pokes, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying" drawings.

The invention relates to animal pokes, and

a fence when the animal tries to breach the fence and cause a pull on the nostrilsin such a manner as to cause pain, and consequently cause the animal to cease trying to breach the fence. I

Vith the above and other objects in view the invention'residesin the combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter set.v

forth, shown in the drawing, described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention may be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the drawing Figure 1 is a perspective view of the vice showing the same applied to an animals head.

Figure 2 is an enlarged perspective view of the device. 7

Referring to the drawing, the numeral designates an elongated member which engages the forward side of the animals head 2 between the eyes, and 3 a "transversely disposed bar which is secured at t to the member 1. The upper end of the bar 1, and the ends of the bar 3 are provided with outwardly extending portions 5, which portions, when the animal tries to breach the fence, cause a twisting of the bars 1 and 3 in such a manner that a pull is imparted on the strap 6 and consequently a pull isimpart'ed on the U-shaped nose engaging clamp 7, which is disposed within nostrils 80f the animal, thereby causing pain I and conse uently causing the animal to cease its ed? ends of the arms Qof'the member 7 curve inwardly. toward each other and terminate in eyes 10, which eyes will not break the skin within the nostrils. The stra'p6 is adjustably connected to the bar 1 by means of a buckle 11, thereby allowing the device to be adjusted to diiierent size animals Secured to the underside of the bar-1 where it crosses the'bar 3 is astrap 12, the ends o'fwhich orts to breach the .fencefThe extend through buckles 13 carried by the neck band 14, and bymeans of which straps 12 the device maybe securely held on the animals head against downward movement 7 after the neck band has been tightened by means of the buckle 15. It will be seen that the neck band will be adjusted to animals having necks of various sizes, and that by adjusting: the strap 12, the device may be securely held on the animals forehead.

From the above itu'will be seen that an animal poke or breachpreventer is provided,

which I is simple in construction, the parts reduced to a minimum, and the device so constructed that it may be applied to various sizes of animals. c f 1 The invention having been set forth what is claimed as new and useful is A fence breachine reventer for animals 2 said preventer comprising rigid crossed -,.me1nbe1s adapted to be disposed on thet'orehead of an animal,the ends of the crossed members being bent forwardly, a nostril clamp comprising a U-shaped member having its arms extending inwardly towards each other and-terminating in eyes, a strap carried by said clamp, said strap passing through a buckle carried by the crossed members, a neck band, a strap secured to the under side of the crossed members, the ends of said last named strap passing through buckles carried by the neck band;

In testimony whereofl hereunto afiix my signature. 7
